Basically, there are four similar stages, each consisiting of a
dual PNP (apparently matched 3906s) gain stage which feeds a 3900
amp connected as a (Miller) integrator.

Reverse engineering. In fact, I've got schematics of some other modules
as well (incl. the 4034/4035 4-pole ladder filter), and I've been
planning to put them in my WWW pages when I have time.
